[QUOTE=Loosenut;24037]I have ridden seveal lowered bikes that impress me with how well the suspension works even when 2 inches of travel is taken away. The only disadvantage I see is ground clearance, which is why my bikes are stock height.

When I give my 6 year old son a ride (he weighs 100+ lbs geared up to ride) his added weight compresses the suspension/tires about an extra inch. I ride with my toes up and my feet hit way more stuff along the trail as result of the lowered ride height. My feet get shoved off the pegs far more frequently. 2 inches lower would be even worse.
